"Speaking to Business Insider for an interview pegged to 28 Years Later, he shared key intel about the 2026 sequel, for which Nia DaCosta took over directing duties. "She gets a bit of Cillian at the end," Boyle said. "All I can say is you have to wait for Cillian, but hopefully he will help us get the third film financed.""
"While 28 Years Later and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple were filmed back-to-back, the long-planned third chapter in the story wasn't green-lit until December. The director was presumably working to build buzz for the already-completed installments by teasing the eventual arrival of Murphy, who has become a much bigger star (and an Oscar winner) since he first played a bike messenger named Jim."
Danny Boyle revealed that Cillian Murphy appears at the end of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, teasing the third chapter. Nia DaCosta directed the 2026 sequel, filmed back-to-back with 28 Years Later, while the third film was green-lit only in December. Boyle suggested Murphy's cameo might help secure financing for the trilogy finale. Murphy's return provides a warm, human counterpoint after intense brutality and creates a cliffhanger that demands a follow-up. The cameo continues the franchise tradition of provocative endings and aims to build audience buzz for the planned third film.
